OK. I'm trying to not get mad at myself. I have finished the rebuild of the
1960 235 that I will be swapping into my 1940 1/2 ton. I have the entire
engine back together and painted. I just realized that I didn't think about
the motor mounts being different between a 1940 truck and a 1960 car. That's
why I'm mad at myself. The car had large motor mounts on the side and
nothing in the front. I went and looked and the front engine plate has a
nice beefy flange on the bottom, but no holes for the front motor mount.
Can I just drill holes here for the front motor mount or do I have to take
it all apart and swap the front engine plate from the 216?
Can someone give me a quick lesson in motor mounts?
